Yes, I prefer parameters to tweak. >> Regarding the ceiling function itself, I designed it only for the current >> use of the python scripts drawing courtyard so I dealt only positive values >> but if people can specify coordinates or lines in grid space it makes a lot >> of sense to handle negative values. It somehow needs to "symmetrically" towards as well as away from zero or to/away from component origin. Hmm... might get tricky. > Therefore round on grid to nearest with a grid size as parameter could > be the best. Yes, that sounds reasonable. > (For very small footprints why to round coordinates or sizes ? This is > not useful) I am slowly working more and more towards automatic footprint generation where I am finally able to adjust solder paste (stencil) openings (volumes) as a percentage of pad areas and mask thickness depending on manufacturing parameters. (Ideally, I am able to adjust that in a finished layout.) So, numbers can get odd, then. Then it would still be nice if the values are clipped to reasonable decimals. We propably don't want every script re-invent the wheel and use it's very own rounding/ceiling magic there.
